I built Madrina, a career coach in Slack for women software engineers, in about 2 hours at Anthropic's Code with Claude: Women in AI Hackathon. Here's why, how, and what I'd do differently.

I led Tidepool Day, where Slack and Anthropic teamed up for a full day of keynotes, workshops, and lightning talks on AI tooling at Salesforce Tower, including giving two of our interns the mic.

A week of conversations with Elastic, Warp, PlanetScale, OpenAI, Sentry, LangChain, and Together AI about observability and agentic lifecycle tooling, and how much of it runs through Slack.

Four takeaways from Anthropic's developer conference in San Francisco — rapid growth, context switching as a superpower, customization gaps, and Slack-native AI workflows.

Attended The Pragmatic Engineer Summit hosted by Gergely Orosz and Statsig — key takeaway: AI adoption is high, but real organizational impact is still the hard part.

How the SheTO Summit reminded me that intention, investment, and community still open doors for women in tech.

Shared how the Slack team uses Slack—from favorite features to behind-the-scenes engineering tips—at our community panel in SF! ✨

Co-organized an AI Dev Tools Night at Salesforce Tower in San Francisco with speakers from Sourcegraph, Mastra, Apify, and Agentforce — bringing together developers interested in AI agents, dev tools, and great conversations.

We brought the dev community together for an epic night of AI agents, dev tools, and pizza at Salesforce Tower. Here’s how it all went down. 🍕🤖

Had such a great time at the CTOs Dinner hosted by Persona and AWS — an inspiring night of connection and conversation with brilliant engineering leaders. 💡

Slack hosted Techqueria at Salesforce Tower for a fireside chat on job-seeking strategies, career transitions, and AI's impact on every role — plus cake pops from a local Latino-owned bakery.

Spoke at Techqueria x Slack’s fireside event on job hunting, AI, and career resilience—powered by community, cake pops, and Latiné excellence. 🌮💬✨

Hosted a Notion Gente ERG networking event in San Francisco that brought together over 80 attendees to connect, learn about employee resource groups, and build community — with a room full of people who finally felt safe and included.

The Q3 2022 Byteboard Retreat focused on thinking and building on the company culture.

Volunteered as a judge for the 2022 Selection Day for the Coro Northern California Exploring Leadership program.

Attended my first week-long team retreat for Byteboard in Hawaii.

I volunteered as a Selection Day Judge for the Coro Northern California Fellowship in Public Affairs to help select the next class.

Helped launch a new events platform for Techqueria in collaboration with the WordPress Special Projects team using The Events Calendar plugin.
I share what I’m learning about bringing AI agents to whole companies, for engineers and everyone else. Follow along for more.
